Damn near every shitlib argument boils down to the same 5 fallacies:
1) Motte and Bailey [I.E. blatantly lying. Arguing for an unreasonable position, then when called out on it, pretending to hold to a more seemingly-reasonable position for defense.]
2) Appeal to Emotion. [So many shitlib arguments are emotional/empathy grifting and manipulation]
3) Appeal to Chronology/Progress/Evolution ["It's the current year!"]
4) Appeal to fake "experts". [Appealing to academic frauds as "experts" whom blatantly fabricate data.]
5) Ad Hominem. ["You're a bigot/x-ist/x-ophobic if you don't agree with me!"]
In short, shitlibs have no arguments.
Even the most midwit of Christians at least attempts to put forth an argument for positions on morality, whether it be by divine fiat, arguing from a standpoint of virtue ethics, describing the practical consequences of moral failings, etc...
